8 Dating Rules For Single Dads

The problem with recently divorced single parents 

is that are waiting too long to start dating 

again, complaining they are oh, so busy. The real 

reason is their fears, because their previous 

situation was usually so ugly, they don't have a 

strong enough ego to let rejections roll off 

their back. 

Even if they are starting to date, in most cases 

are doing this for the wrong reasons. Some single 

parents think they are in competition with their 

ex, particularly if they were left for a younger 

partner. They also might be playing a game to 

prove to the ex that they are desirable by dating 

as many people as possible. In a nutshell, don't 

date for emotional revenge, to allay feelings of 

loneliness or to prove your desirability to 

others. 

After a divorce, both parties are tented to 

change partners almost every week or month and 

are not in the mood to compromise with somebody. 

But after a while especially single fathers are 

feeling the need to have a life partner and a 

mother for their children. 

If you are a single father and you are determined 

to find someone for a long time relationship you 

have to be sure that you are making the best 

choice because now you are not alone, you are 

making the choice not only for you but for your 

children too. 

There are some gold rules to consider that can 

help you to find the best mom for your children 

and the best lover for you:

1. As there is no surer turn-off for a potential 

lover than a person who insists on living in the 

past, make a rule for yourself that you are going 

to do your absolute best not to drag the past 

into new relationships. 

2. Your kids are the priority of your life; keep 

them there no matter what!

3. You have been careful to prepare your kids for 

the fact that you will have a life other than the 

one with them. But don't forget to make them 

understand that they will not lose your love, 

just some of your time together.

4. Chose to date only women that have at least 

one kid already. A woman without children will 

not understand you and your children needs and 

will not have too much patience. Don't forget 

that children are the best when it is about to 

exasperate somebody, and in the first stage your 

new date will be like a target for your kids jest.

5. Don't leave your partner to baby-sit. In order 

to keep children safe, it is necessary to be able 

to discipline them. It is too soon for your 

partner to discipline your children. 

6. In conflict situation try to put yourself in 

your partner place, be diplomatic with your child 

and try to be impartial. Find the golden mean to 

resolve the problems between them.

7. Never chose your mate only because she is 

getting on well with your child. You have to find 

someone FOR YOU and YOUR CHILD. Remember that the 

best for your children is and will ever be their 

natural mum, the women you just have divorced (

for some good reasons I believe). So find a woman 

that you are attracted to, a woman you find 

interesting AND that is willing to accept your 

children too.

8. Pay attention to her children too, and never 

forget that they are the priority of her life.
